Folks Try A Drunk Driving Simulator And It's A Total Buzz Kill

"I can't believe people drive like this."

This should put the brakes on your happy hour-fueled commutes.

In a BuzzFeed video posted on Wednesday, folks try a drunk driving simulator and arrive at the sobering and obvious conclusion that it's just plain reckless to get behind the wheel after too many cocktails.

Equipped with weights that impede movement and googles and ear mufflers that impair perception, subjects stumbled through a sobriety field test first. Then while wearing just the goggles, they got behind the wheel. Merely avoiding pylons becomes a monumental task.

"I can't believe people drive like this," one subject said.

We can't either, but it happens far too often. An average of 28 people a day die in car crashes involving a drunk driver, the CDC noted.
